Amazon said that from the end of 2022, Amazon Kindle e-reader users will be able to upload their book files in EPUB format. The file type is popular worldwide, but until now Kindle readers did not support EPUB. It is not yet clear when exactly the file type will be accepted.

Previously, Kindle users had to convert their EPUB files to another Amazon supported format using an external app or service. Starting later this year, EPUB files uploaded via the Send to Kindle app or email system will be automatically converted to a different format.

At the same time, Amazon is phasing out the MOBI format. Users will no longer be able to upload .AZW and .MOBI files to their Kindle after updating via Send to Kindle. Incidentally, this has no effect on existing MOBI books; they stay legible if they are on an Amazon e-reader.

Kindle e-readers still can’t, according to Good E-Reader local read an EPUB file. In the app, users will not notice it, provided they use the supported installation methods. This could ultimately also have an impact on the e-reader and e-book industry; Amazon may also accept the sale of EPUB ebooks via the Kindle Store soon. There is no official information about this yet.
